Package: texlive-binaries Version: 2026.20260303.78225+ds-2 Severity: serious Justification: Policy 7.6.2 I cannot upgrade texlive, but "apt install texlive -s" shows that the upgrade is possible if dvidvi is removed. However, this removal is not automatic, which is the issue. I can see that texlive-binaries how has Provides: dvidvi, [...] Conflicts: dvidvi, [...] According to https://www.debian.org/doc/debian-policy/ch-relationships.html 7.6.2. Replacing whole packages, forcing their removal "dvidvi" should also be added to "Replaces:" to force its removal.
